Just posted this as a Bug but wanted to share as well in-case anyone else has experience with this. On our forum we have sub-forums that are only visible to specific user groups and protected by a Password. However, we just discovered that regular users who do not have rights to the forum are able to see the names of topics created in the forum when they click on a users profile. Specifically this shows under currently in a users profile. This has proven to be a security vulnerability for our forum since it means users can see topic names from a protected forum. See included screenshot. The topic next to Currently: is in a protected forum and this is viewable my a regular…

i use the default "Post Feed" on my forum sidebar and sometimes the topic texts are crossing the borders like this i thought there might be something wrong with my skin but turns out it only happens when there is an image link posted in the topic :/ there is no problem if i put the link inside a quote or code or link it with a text but when its posted directly the "post feed" side bar is fked up - any ways is there any different recent posts for sidebar? the default one is not really good

Hi, My colleague and I are working on a website and our goal is to make the site and the forum share the users and login by using the forum database as the user database. We want our users to be able to login to the website using a login form. The login form then communicates with the forum and logs the user in to the forum and thus also the website. We have been studying the documentation and believe the key is to communicate with IPS Connect. After countless bad attempts at this we have been able to somewhat connect and we get a status-report SUCCESS and some user info (user name, email, id). Where do we go from here though? How do we actually sign in f…

Hi, I'm looking for a way to make it so URLs do not show the actual topic title only the topic id, people keep looking through the id's of the topics and finding topic names that we don't want them to see. Is there any way to easily change this? or even a plugin? Thanks

Hello, is there a way to truncate or limit to a certain amount of words or characters (a short intro) of posts on the forum? I am having them imported onto another site, but the site will pull the entire entry, I don't have any options there to truncate. Any ideas? I think the old IPBOARD 3 had some settings to control the RSS export but I can't find anything in IPBOARD 4.

I am running a test upgrade on my board and so far everything is looking good but I do not undertsand the ACP here... What are all these processes? Are they upgrade routines that continue to run on a new upgrade until they are complete? Does the new board fully function during this time? They do not seem to be progressing, with many still at 0% a few days later. There is a link "to manually process them" and at the moment it is at Processing RebuildPosts - IPS\forums\Topic\Post - 323213 / 609409 Once this is complete is that when the other processes will kick in? Thanks for any explanation on this point, I was not expecting further proc…

Is there an option to remove the edit logs so that "last edited by" does not show up? I remember in my old vbull forum there was a mod for this option, which even allowed for hiding admin edits.
